.SH DESCRIPTION |
| 21 |
.PP |
| 22 |
This manual page is a mere skeleton. |
| 23 |
.PP |
| 24 |
The \*(LX language is described in the book |
| 25 |
.IR "\*(LX \- A Document Preparation System" . |
| 26 |
\*(LX is a \*(TX macro package, not a modification to the \*(TX source |
| 27 |
program, so all the capabilities described in |
| 28 |
.BR tex (1) |
| 29 |
are present. |
| 30 |
.PP |
| 31 |
The \*(LX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their |
| 32 |
documents, rather than the form. The ideal, very difficult to realize, is to |
| 33 |
have no formatting commands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 |
| 34 |
picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done |
| 35 |
by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''. |
| 36 |
.PP |
| 37 |
The primary source of documentation for \*(LX is the \*(LX manual |
| 38 |
referenced below. |

.BR lualatex , |
| 41 |
.BR pdflatex , |

| 51 |
is the Aleph-based \*(LX format (DVI output). |
| 52 |

.B dvilualatex |
| 54 |
is LuaTeX-based and outputs DVI. |
| 55 |

.B latex209 |
| 61 |
and |
| 62 |
.B slitex |
| 63 |
may still be available for compatibility with older versions of \*(LX. These |
| 64 |
should not be used for new texts. |
